An attempt to spread the word of Agriculture through my own experiences. Inspired by Advocates for Agriculture and their story on ABC's Landline on the 14th August 2011. Might take me a while to get this page up to scratch, but it should be fun trying.

Sharing's Caring

Thank you to everybody who has shared this blog. Sharing is the way these things work, otherwise I'm justing talking to myself. If you like what you read please tweet, Facebook or email it to your mates. The more people outside our agricultural circle we can reach the better. Don't forget to have a look at the other blogs I'm following too. Everyone has a story to tell.

Congratulations on your early retirement. We trust you found
your time as Agricultural Minister an enlightening one, and that after a few
years in the job, you are now able to tell a sheep from a cow from a horse’s
arse. We also hope you have learnt that livestock are not like iron ore, and
that they cannot sit idle at wharf side while you attempt to appease some 18
million voters on the Eastern seaboard.

Did anything you heard at any of your meetings with any
producers actually sink in at any point? We would hope so. We are sure any
future employers would expect the ability to listen and learn to be a
prerequisite, and to this we hope it has improved should you get bored of tax
payer funded pension benefits, benefits which those left decimated by your few
years at the reins (reins are the things which steer horses, at the opposite
end of the horse’s arse) would greatly appreciate.

About Me

I farm in Geraldton, West Australia with my wife Gemma and her parents. We run a export depot for sheep and goats on one property, a bit of crop and damara sheep on another, and Gemma's parents run the damara sheep station near Yalgoo, about 200kms east of Geraldton.
